from
him and ‘Ali was pouring water on him from a shield. When
Fatimah
realized that the water was only making the bleeding worse,
she took a
piece of a mat and burnt it, and when it had turned to
ashes, she
applied it to the wound to stop the bleeding.

face of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and treating him, and the one
who was
bringing the water in a shield, and with what the wound was
treated
until the bleeding stopped. The one who was carrying the
water in the
shield was ‘Ali. The one who was treating the wound
was Fatimah. When
the bleeding would not stop, she burned a piece of
a worn out mat and
applied the ashes to it (the wound), then the
bleeding stopped.
